Prices

What it costs, before you ask.

Typical installed prices including VAT. Your own roof and bill will move these, which is why the scan gives you your number, not a package.

Illustrations for a Johannesburg home on City Power with a tiled roof, someone home in the day. Estimated from average roofs; a roof scan uses yours. Prices include installation, a Certificate of Compliance and registration.

Paying for it

Three ways to pay. One honest comparison.

Put all three side by side for your system, over the same number of years.

Cash

The lowest total cost and the quickest payback. The system is yours from the day it goes on.

Home loan or solar finance

Add it to your bond, or take a solar loan from your bank. Your monthly repayment can come close to what you save on the bill.

Monthly rental

Nothing upfront, and maintenance included. You pay more over time, and buy-out terms vary a lot, so read them before you sign. We’ll help you do that.

The scan prices your roof, not an average one.
